Popis: Cerebral blood flow increases upon the transition from rest to moderate exercise, but becomes affected when the ability to raise CO (cardiac output) is limited. HR (heart rate) is considered to contribute significantly to the increase in CO in the early stages of dynamic exercise. The aim of the present study was to test whether manipulation of the HR response in patients dependent on permanent rate-responsive ventricular pacing contributes to the increase in CO, MCA Vmean [mean MCA (middle cerebral artery) velocity] and work capacity during exercise. The effect of setting the pacemaker to DSS (‘default’ sensor setting) compared with OSS (‘optimized’ sensor setting) on blood pressure, CO, SV (stroke volume) and MCA Vmean was evaluated during ergometry cycling. From rest to exercise at 75 W, the rise in HR in OSS [from 73 (65–87) to 116 (73–152) beats/min; P
